Claims
- 1. The method of heating an article by infrared radiation without harm to or any marring of the surface of said article comprising the steps of;
- supporting said article on the upper resilient tip ends of a myriad of vertically disposed tufts of heat resistant fibers bonded together at their lower tip ends into a rigid support;
- passing said radiation upwardly alongside of said fibers as well as;
- transmitting infrared rays internally through said fibers from their said lower tip ends to their said upper tip ends and to said article.
- 2. The method of heating an article by infrared radiation without harm to or any marring of the surface of said article comprising the steps of;
- supporting said article on the upper resilient tip ends of a myriad of vertically disposed tufts of heat resistant fibers bonded together at their lower tip ends into a rigid support;
- passing said radiation upwardly alongside of said fibers to said article and;
- wherein said fibers and said bonding are comprised of material transparent to said infrared radiation.
- 3. The method according to claim 1 further comprising, the addition of a flow of convectional air along with said infrared radiation to said article.
- 4. The method according to claim 2 further comprising, the addition of a flow of convectional air along with said infrared radiation to said article.
